Текст песни I Threw Away The Rose

Once I lived a life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the roseDel McCoury - I Threw Away The Rose - http://ru.motolyrics.com/del-mccoury/i-threw-away-the-rose-lyrics.html
[ steel ]
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
I watched my social standings slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command

But now I'm paying for the days...
Yes I kept the wine and threw away the rose
